\ Glimpse of Mr.. Doyie's Studio
How Statues are Made.
A gentleman who called at the studio
OF Mr.. Alexander Doyle, during a recent
visit to New York, reports that the work
of modelling the statue for the Jasper
monument is we'll advanced. Mr.. DOYLE
was not in when the gentleman visited
the studio, but his visitor at once recOg-
niZed among other models that intended
to represent Jasper from the attitude Of
the statue. The model was that of man
Invested of clothing. In response to an
inquiry as TO why the statue was in this
nude state, he was informed by the work
men that all models were necessarily
nodded in that manner, so as to make
taem anatOmically correct. After the
model is perfected in that form, the cloth
Ing or drapery is modelled and fitted to it,
The statue has TO be properly dressed.
The statue of Jasper 10 intended 10 rep
resent the hero when he received his death
wound in the attack OF the American
army upon the British forces In Savan-
nan. and the artist, from the miniature
models submitted some months ago 10 the
Jasper Monument Association, has a
thorough conception OF the scene which
he is to perpetuate in bronze. 1t is not
positively known when the monument
will be erected, but it sill be probably in
time TO have it unveiled on Oct, next,
the one hundred and eighth anniversary
of Jasper's death.

THE GUARDS AEsMORY.
Wednesday Evening. 9th Inst.

Editor Morning NelrS: 1t Is a trite and
true saying that charity begins al home.
Now, let US look around us and we will
see among the many of the various re-
cipicnts OF our bounty there are none
more entitled to our united and substan-
tial aid than the st. JOseph's InfirmaTy.
This institution is a credit, not only to
Savannah, but to the entire South.
With no settled endowment, no reve-
nue. that can be depended upon, these
resolute sisters who conduct this i'm
mense establishment work on, toll on,
day and night, with Indefatigable perse.
vprance, without thought Of individual
reward or selfish COMPENSATION, solely for
the glory of God and the reliefof suffering
humanity.
Such rigorous self-denial, such glorious
heroism, such MAGNIFICENT results at
tanned through their gentle care and
arduous attention, attest at once the ne
cessity OF such an institution in our
midst and a generous protection.
Nonsectarian in its character. Catholic
and Protestant, Jew and Gentle, native
or foreigner, alike, are cared for and at
tended to without any interference as far
as creed or country are concerned.
To enable this philanthropic institution
to carry on the good work in which it is
concerned a committee or some of our
most prominent citizens OF all creeds AID
classes have generously come forward to
assist 1t, and for this purpose have drawn
out programme for a ball, promenade
and coHversaZiOne, which will take place
at the Guards ArmOry Hall on Wednes-
day evening next, Feb. Q, as will be seen
by the advertisement your paper of this
morning, and which, there ia no doubt
whatever viii be the Growing event of
the season.
The liberality OF the people OF Savan-
nah is too well known TO admit OF fail
uTe, and from the many tickets disposed
OF the Sisters of St. Joseph's Inirmary
may depend upon goodly sum TO serve
their purposes in the great charity they
are engaged in.

4 Worth County Merchant Accuse d
of Violating ReveDue laws.
Judge Emory Speer had rather unu-
sual case before him yesterday, the de-
PENDANT not knowing whether to plead
guilty or not guilty. G. }. Dell, of Ty-Tv,
Worth county, was the party who was in
the dilemma. He was charged with haV-
ing retailed spirituous liquors as btv-
erage without having paid the revenue
tax.
Dell had no counsel and said that he
did not want any. He stated TO the court
that he mad sold what the prosecution
pleased to call spirituous liquors, but
whicn he had always called cherry bit
ters.
A jury was sworn and Mr.. Query. the
United states District Attorney, put up
several witnesses to prove that the
liquid which Deli sold would intoxlcate.
Two or three swore that they had got
drunk from drinking it at Del's store.
they testified thai while the liquid did
not taste exactly like whisky it produced
a similar effect. None of them had taken
1t by the dose, but by the drink, Just as
they would take whisky.
The defendant stated that he got the
bitters from the agent of DR.. HarJer, Of
st. LOUIS. Dell said that the agent told
him that he could sell the btters as a
beverage without paying the revenue
tax and without being liable for it.
lie added that ne had always sold 1t
openly, and that deputy collector Of in
ternal revenue named Morrison mad told
him that he DID not think it was a viola
tion of the law to sell the bitters without
paying the tax. The tax, however, was
subsequently, demanded and was paid.
The jury brought in verdict of &C.

Hub Collins has been offered larger
salary by Louisville than Ramsey, KerIns
and Wolf received last year, and yet he
isn't satisfied. lie says be wants the
same rate of salary that he received last
year. The Sporting Life tells an interest
Ing little story about Collins. Last sea-
son he received $500 for about two
months work with Louisville, but it was
not all salary. When President
Phelps was about to pay SaVan-
nah a bonus Of $500 for Collins re-
lease last fall, Collins telegraphed:
Don't pay any bonus. The CLUB will
disband in a week and | will sign with
you.' Acting upeE this information.
President Phelps telegraphed the Savan-
nah people that he didn't want to buy
Collins. And, sure enough, just as Col
Inns said, tue Savannahs dlsbanded in
week. Collins then signed a contract and
went to Louisville, and the management,
appreciating his kindness in saving the
club the $500 bonus that would have been
paid Savannah, made him present of
$500. This, however, WAS gilt out
right, and Manager Hart told him at the
time that he mus not consider it part Of
his salary. But Collins evidently wants
to make somebody believe that he did
consider it as a part OF his salary, land
that's what he means when he says or be
sings" that he is perfectly willing to play
there this season at the same rate OF pay
that be received last season. Counting
the 5000 gift as salary, he was receiving
pay at the rate OF 1925 a month. and he
would be willing TO play for that this
season.

St. raul Real Estate Ipve.tments.

We take pleasure in calling attention
to the advertisement OF Mr.. n. Il. Solo.
mon, formerly one Of the leading whole
sale grocers of Savannah. Five years
since he removed TO st. Paul, Mimi,
identified himself with that city, and be-
came a successful and prominent mer-

Scterized him, is turning his atten lion TO
real estate.
Five years ago st. Paul and Mlnneapo-
lis were eight miles apart. They are rap
idly drawing G oser together, and event
ually will become one city. Gov. FtZ-
hugh Lee, and many other far-seeing Nir-
ginians, are investing largely in st, Paul
property. We cheerfully recommend Mr..
Solomon as gentleman OF the highest in
tegrity and business judgment. He is

Port Royals Outlook.

The Port Royal Post says that it has
the highest authority for saying that the
policy in the management of the
Port Royal and Augusta rail
road is entirely changed, and that
Port Royal is no longer to be
bottled up for the benefit OF the merchants
and stevedores of Savannah. The new
owners OF the Central railroad are wise
and sagacIous men. They don't try to
conceal their purpose to make the
railroads which they control, as
they do the Port Royal, pay their
own way, and make as much
money as possible for the stockholders,
no matter how other interests may be
affected thereby. In order 10 afford the
necessary Iacilitles to handle the in
creased freights, an additional train is
being run between Port Royal and Yem-
assoc, making eight trains over the road
daily. The company now has two shift
ing locomotives in the railroad yard, in
stead of one, as formerly.

COL. CHARLES SPALDING.
The Last One of an Old Georgia
Family Dead.

Mr.. 4. F. Bryan, perlntendent of the
Savannah Cotton Exchange, received a
letter yesterday announcing the death on
Saturday, at Sunnyside, near Griffin, Of
Col. Charles Spalding. Col. Spalding was
the last Of the old Spalding family. He
was 70 years old, and resided most of his
lie in Mcintosh county. His remains
were taken to Darlen on Sunday for in
termeut. The Macon Telegraph, In writ
ing of Cal. Spalding's death, says:
"Charles SpaldinG was n type OF the ele-
giant and cultured Southern gentleman,
who made the hospitality Of the seaboard
OF Georgia delightful at home aud famous
abroad in the better and happier days of
the South. Well born, well bred, well
educated, and supplied with generous
fortune. he filled his allotted sphere from
first to last as brave and honest gentle
man and a citizen of whom any country
might be proud.
IAN anecdote illustrative of him, his
compeers and bis times, may not be out
of place. In his earlier manhood, during
a political excitement, he became In-
VOWED in a controversy with dlstln-
guished neighbor. A resort TO the code
followed. MIR. Spalding's friend urged
him to accustom himself To tue Use Of the
pistol before the meeting. He declined,
as he said, to make himself an expert, 10
settle a Misunderstanding. Fortunately
the meeting resulted without harm.
There may be new glOries, new power
and new fortunes awaiting what is called
the new South. She VIII be happy if her
new civilization shall breed sucn men as
Charles Spalding."
